G root servers unreachable via ICMP(v6)

Tue May 16 21:56:19 UTC 2023

Issue addressed on the dns-operations mailing list. Thanks for letting 
me know Willy.

I wanted to bring your attention to the DNS Affinity Group here in the 
NANOG Community <https://community.nanog.org/c/dns/> and to the OARC 
Community Chat server <https://chat.dns-oarc.net> on our self-hosted 
Mattermost server. Our chat server is where OARC meets the wider DNS 
Community.

Also, I will be at NANOG 88 in Seattle in June if anyone would like to 
meet up.

Regards,

Steve Sullivan
